that's funny, i don't like the feel of the 01 maxima se 5 speed. i don't know that the new 6 speed is much different but it feels too loose and rubbery. i'll tell you what car has the best manual i've ever driven, above all else including bmw. the s2000. short, precise and direct. almost like a video game. that was the 01 model, and they somehow improved it for 02. i've also heard that nissan transmissions aren't very strong. is that true?

You could say the transmission is the achilles heel in most Nissans. I went through two of them in my 200SX. The SR20 mated transmissions in the SE-R cars are known to be especially fragile.

ok, comparing them stock...yeah the maxima may be a little better (i still think the exterior is much better on the altima, but thats just my opinion).
but when you factor in the price difference and what you could do to an altima for all the extra $$$ you'd be saving (ie new wheels, exhaust, intake) the altima is the clear winner.

I have 5500 Miles on my Altima, had tranny changed once under warranty, and I broke it again. On June18 they are having a technician from Nissan look at it again, since I broke it again. But oh well its free.
I broke it mis shifting, so they should be strong for daily driving.
